Chapter 17: Everything is complicated!
When Wang Cheng returned to Qingyun Peak, Lin Yuanshan and his wife who went out at the same time had not returned yet.
He greeted several brothers and sisters who had cultivated spiritual fields on the mountain, handed over some of the picked spiritual medicines to the junior sister Yu Shiyin for treatment, and went to a cave on the mountain to practice.
In the cave, Wang Cheng took out two [red snake fruits] and mashed them into juice, put them in a jade cup, then poured the snake gall the size of a pigeon egg into the cup, and drank it clean in one sip.
The snake gallbladder is fishy and bitter, but swallowed with the juice of [Red Snake Fruit]. The fragrance and sweetness of the juice suppress the fishy and bitter taste, making it not that difficult to swallow.
Wang Cheng drank the juice and snake gallbladder in one sip. He immediately sat cross-legged and started practicing the "Qingyun Jue".
A cold air spread out from the abdomen and rushed to the limbs and bones. Wang Cheng's magic power was circulating, wrapping the cold air that rushed to the meridians and gathering it into his dantian for refining, and gradually turning into his own cultivation magic power.
He had been practicing for almost half a day before he had completely refined the spiritual power contained in the snake gallbladder.
The effect of this half-day practice is comparable to his hard work in two months of practice, which shows how effective the snake gallbladder is.
"If this continues, at most, my cultivation level should be able to be promoted to the eighth level of Qi training in one or two years!"
Wang Cheng stood up from the ground, moved his legs that had been sitting for a long time, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
Then he walked out of the cave and saw that under the night, several senior brothers and sisters were still reclaiming the land with the help of the glory emitted by the "moonlight stone", even the senior brother Lin Yuanshan and his wife who had already returned were no exception.
Seeing this scene, he was both happy and ashamed, and quickly followed him to help.
Reclaiming spiritual fields and medicine gardens is both standard coolies.
The locations of Lingtian and Medicine Garden are generally near nodes with relatively rich spiritual energy in the spiritual vein. The earth and stone nourished by spiritual energy are much harder and solider than ordinary earth and stones. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are as solid as iron stone.
Therefore, mortals cannot do such a life at all. Only cultivators can do it with the help of magic power and magic tools.
Wang Cheng and his friends are now purifying the spiritual fields, which means that they will first remove all the plants and trees above the selected address, and then use the "earth-quake technique" to shake the earth and rocks below, and at the same time, they will kill some pests in the land that will eat spiritual plant seeds and seedlings in the future.
Later, the cultivator who blessed himself with the "Giant Power Technique" held a hoe made of black iron, turned all the soil over, and then broke it into particles to build blocks of fields.
Only in this way can the block fields be considered as spiritual fields and start sowing spiritual seeds for cultivation.
The spiritual field is already in trouble, but the medicine field is even more troublesome.
Due to the different growth environments of various spiritual medicines, the medicinal fields also need to be reclaimed.
Moreover, in order to ensure that the large amount of spiritual medicine planted in the medicinal field can grow normally, special cultivators need to use the "spirit gathering technique" every day or every few days to help the medicinal field gather spiritual energy, and even break up the spirit stones and bury them into the medicinal field to increase the spiritual energy content.
In short, whether cultivators grow spiritual medicines or tame spirit beasts, they are not as simple as mortals farming and raising pigs, and they cannot let mortals do these things.
"Today, Feng'er and I went out to pick spiritual medicines and found several rare first-level spiritual medicines. In order to prevent any accidents, we must reclaim a few medicinal fields as soon as possible, and then let Junior Brother Lu transplant them."
In the middle of the night, when the six Qingyun disciples were tired and sat down to rest, Lin Yuanshan and Guo Yunfeng finally had time to talk to Wang Cheng about the harvest of going out today.
"Senior Brother is right. I have also discovered a lot of spiritual medicine when I went out today. For us, this area is full of treasures. We must seize the opportunity and take as many of these outdoor resources as possible!"
Wang Cheng nodded, agreeing with Lin Yuanshan's words.
The wilderness area that has never been entered by cultivators on a large scale can be said to be a coexistence of risks and opportunities.
If Longshan Academy had not directly airdropped low-level monks like Wang Cheng and others here, and established a second-level mountain protection formation for them.
By their own terms, even if we know that this wilderness is full of all kinds of wild elixirs and that the high-level monsters here have been cleaned up, we have no ability to go deep into this place.
Now, as these sects come here to take root, a large number of middle and low-level cultivators will inevitably come here after hearing the news. At that time, if you want to go out and find various wild elixirs as easily as you are now, you don’t have to think about it.
When Lin Yuanshan heard Wang Cheng agreeing with his opinion, he also showed a hint of satisfaction on his face, and then continued, "In my opinion, it would be better to call He Dahu and his family to help reclaim the spiritual fields tomorrow, and then we will leave the junior sister at home to guard the situation, and the rest will all go out to find spiritual medicine!"
When Wang Cheng heard this, he shook his head without thinking and said, "It's not appropriate. If He Dahu and his family are called to help reclaim the spiritual field, those mortals will be in danger. There are many monsters and various ferocious wild beasts here now. If a few monsters break into the mortal village, there will be big problems!"
After saying that, he seemed to feel that it was a bit of a shame for Lin Yuanshan to refuse directly. After hesitating, he continued: "Actually, we can give it a try and transfer He Dahu's son and Taoist couple to cultivate the spiritual field. The Qingyun Peak is rich in spiritual energy and protected by the mountain protection formation. It is much safer than staying in the mortal village. Fellow Daoist He should be happy to agree to this matter!"
Lin Yuanshan's originally ugly face suddenly looked much better, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "This is OK."
But what they didn't expect was that after they discussed their plans for tomorrow and took a break and fell asleep, something happened to the mortal village in Qingyun Valley!
"Previously, three demon wolves led dozens of wild wolves to break through the village wall and enter the village. When we heard the sound, things were a little out of control."
"Although He finally used a first-level top-grade talisman at the bottom of the box to severely damage the leader of the demon wolf and drove away the wolf pack, the number of mortals in the village had reached 42, and hundreds of people were bitten by evil wolves, and more than a dozen people became disabled!"
In Qingyun Valley, when Wang Cheng, who received the He Dahu's messaging talisman, rushed to the place with the [Lingfeng Sword], he saw only mortal villagers crying and wailing everywhere, as well as incomplete corpses on the ground, human and wolf corpses.
After hearing He Dahu's report, his heart ached and his face turned pale in an instant.
His eyes swept around, and he saw the torch shining with panicked faces. Both men and women, all the mortal villagers were looking at him, their eyes full of fear.
Seeing this situation, Wang Cheng knew that he had to say something and do something, otherwise these mortals who were attracted by them with various beautiful promises would definitely lose their confidence in the Qingyun Sect.
"Dear villagers, I am Wang Cheng, the head of Qingyun Sect. I am very sorry and ashamed of what happened tonight. It is our Qingyun Sect that failed to fulfill our protection responsibilities and failed to protect your safety, which made you scared. Here I would like to say sorry to all the villagers and the villagers who died tonight!"
Wang Cheng bowed slightly, bowed to all the villagers, and apologized on the spot.
Then he thrust his body, looked at the many villagers with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "I know I'm just saying sorry, it's hard to revive the dead, and it's hard to let the villagers forget the pain tonight. So please rest assured that before sunset tomorrow, my Qingyun Gate will definitely kill all the beasts attacking the village tonight to avenge all the villagers. Next, I will set up a fairy magic circle in the village to protect you, and ensure that things will not happen again tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fear in the eyes of the villagers really diminished a lot.
But I don’t know if I hadn’t reacted from the previous shock, but no one responded to it, which made Wang Cheng feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, He Dahu saw his embarrassment and quickly winked at an old man from the He family who had migrated.
The old man was a little stunned, and soon understood the intention of the family. He fell to his knees and shouted loudly: "Mr. Wang is kind, and we are so grateful to the common people. Please accept my prayers!"
"The Immortal Master Wang is kind!"
"Master Immortal Master must avenge me!"
"I would like to ask Master Immortal to avenge me and the common people!"
...
Someone took the lead, and the other villagers finally reacted, knelt all over the ground, shouting out the word "revenge" to vent their fear.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng naturally gave him a kind word to comfort him, and then asked the leaders of these mortal villagers to organize all the people back to rest.
Then he pulled He Dahu aside and comforted him privately: "Fellow Daoist He has worked hard. The first-level top-grade spiritual talisman that fellow Taoist consumed today will be added to the same level of spiritual talisman for fellow Taoist later. It will never let fellow Taoist suffer."
He Dahu felt much more uncomfortable when he heard this, and quickly said, "President Wang is polite. He is also ashamed of what happened tonight. If he could have discovered the demon wolf's behavior earlier, he would definitely not have caused such a large casualty!"
"It's not a fault for fellow Taoist He. This matter is still a matter of being blamed. If I hadn't been reluctant to let go of the spirit stones needed to set up the formation, how could the disaster tonight have occurred? This matter should be taken as a warning and will never be committed again in the future!"
Wang Cheng shook his head with an ugly expression, and he really regretted it.
In fact, there is a first-level top-grade magic array in his storage bag [Mist-Shadowed Mistakes Array]. If he had been willing to spend the spirit stones to maintain the operation of the formation and place the formation in the village, the wolves would definitely not be so easy to break into the village today.
Unfortunately, he had been lucky enough to lose the formation of more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones every month, so he had a disaster tonight.
